One of the newer hotels (2012) to open in the Bagan area, Areindmar is a small boutique hotel arranged around a lovely courtyard. An urban haven, it is located in the centre of New Bagan, south of the old town walls and not far from the major temple sites.
We last stayed at Areindmar Hotel in 2014, and we fell in love with the place. It is small, intimate and beautifully furnished. The location is convenient—close enough to the temples to allow for independent exploration (bikes are available to hire just outside of the hotel), but also within reach of New Bagan’s few shops and restaurants as well as the local market. The facilities at the hotel are excellent albeit limited—there’s an elegant pool, a cosy bar, and a shaded open-air dining area. The rooms are spacious and very well-appointed.
For those looking for a quiet, intimate hotel in the Bagan area, Areindmar is our top choice. Tharabar Gate, situated in Old Bagan, offers a better location, and Amazing Bagan and Thiripyitsaya offer a more extensive range of facilities, but Areindmar offers the best atmosphere.
Accommodation
Areindmar Hotel offers 38 rooms and suites, arranged on two levels around the central courtyard. The rooms are spacious and immaculately furnished, with hardwood furniture and polished floors, complemented by local fabrics. Amenities include air-con, satellite TV, in-room safe, Wi-Fi and tea/coffee facilities.
Dining
Areindmar’s small restaurant shares its space with the lobby at the front of the hotel and overlooks the courtyard and pool. There is a shaded, open-air dining area which opens onto the pool terrace. Guests will typically take breakfast by the pool and dine on the lawn in the evenings, which is beautifully lit at night.
Areindmar's menu changes regularly, but features good a mix of local and international dishes.
Areindmar Hotel is located close to a number of restaurants, of admittedly mixed quality. The best, and priciest, is the Green Elephant, located a few minutes from the hotel.
